10/10 Excellent
"We had a really enjoyable stay at this hotel and would definitely return. The location is excellent for exploring the Old Town, although there are quite a lot of steps up and down around the hotel, so guests with mobility issues may find this challenging. The hotel does offer a shuttle service to the Old Town until 5:30pm, and taxis are very reasonably priced, so getting around wasn’t an issue for us. Our room was very clean, with fresh towels changed daily, and the shower was excellent. The only real downside was the availability of sun loungers. There didn’t seem to be enough for the number of guests, and some were broken, which was a little disappointing. Overall, though, we had an excellent time. The hotel, location and cleanliness were all great, and we would happily return."
